What Makes My Five Individual Strengths

Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment my top five strengths are strategic, deliberative, learner, maximize and individualization. As an individual, I rarely look into my weakness. I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.

My greatest personal strengths include a strong work ethic, endurance, and empathy towards others. As a section leader, I would use my strong work ethic to lead by example and to ensure that the section remains in order and ready to carry out rehearsals and performances, as well keeping uniforms and instruments maintained.Another of my personal strengths that will aid in the leading of my section is the ability to endure through long and difficult rehearsals. I could provide inspiration to the first year members to press on even when they feel like giving up and to remained focused and not lose their composure. Finally, I feel that my empathy towards others is one of my strongest trait which would allow me to be mindful of section members who

My five strengths are deliberative, intellection, context, restorative, and learner. The strengths are generally broad enough to represent me. The five traits go from a very adequate representation to a rather loose representation of myself. I agree with most of what is stated in the Gallup’s StrengthsFinder, but there are certain inherent flaws in the generalization of my person which I do not agree with.

My 5 strengths are as followed: Integrity, Loving, Appreciation, Hope, Forgiveness. After completely the survey, I applied these five strengths to my daily life. I realized that being conscious of my strengths and using them for a good cause not only helped myself but I helped others as well. My integrity shined this past week when I was placed in a situation where I was placed in a position where I had to be brutally honest with a dear friend, regardless of the pain that it may have endured her. As in individual, I like to be spoken to with the truth and nothing less than that, as I will speak to someone with nothing but pure honesty. If I was in the wrong doing or if I was in the right mindset, I will be honest of my actions and sayings. I believe there is no reason to lie, a lie told is an ongoing fairytale that will never end. One lie told leads to a thousand others in order to justify one lie, when it could have all been prevented if you had just told the truth. That lesson, is what I learned recently, and I couldn’t be more grateful

The five greater strengths that describe me is: Futuristic, relator, empathy, belief, and competition. (http://www.strengthsquest.com/content/cms.aspx?space=SQ&ci=144437&title=Brief-Theme-Report)

The results for my test showed that my top 5 strengths are achiever, discipline, positivity, relator and empathy. I wasn’t surprised by my results because they all show up on a daily basis. In college, I like to get things done in a timely manner. I love to stay busy and I can do that because I am great at organizing my life, and writing everything in my planner. Everyday, I try to stay positive and I find that I am always the one to cheer my friends up. I can see situation from their perspective and give them my best advice to help them. Every week, I have set time in my schedule where I call my parents or video chat with my sister or my friends back home. Currently, my major is undecided but I know my five strengths will play a role in my

My top five strengths were achiever, adaptability, input, learner, and analytical. Being classified as an achiever means I have the physical and mental drive to complete a given task long after others have stopped working. This applies to me because I feel like I always strive to last longer and complete more than others participating with me. Adaptability means that I can easily “go with the flow” and deal with tasks the moment they arise. This is especially true because I have transitioned, or adapted exceptionally well into college-life and feel like I have a place. Input means that I always crave to know more and love to collect and archive all kinds of information. This classification truly fits me the best. I love obtaining new information and I love accomplishing tasks I set for my future self. Being classified as a learner means that I tend to being an upbeat perspective on instruction and embrace exposure to new ideas and concepts. Lastly, I am analytical. That means I feel good about the decisions I make because of sound reasoning and judgement.

Three of my strengths can be identify and described as followed; my strength is my genuine, as a Police Service Officer I am able to communicate with the community both in person and by other forms of communication in a manner in which the person I am communicating with can tell I am genuinely interested and committed in helping the person with their concern, or complaint no matter how big or small it maybe. My second strength is my adherence to being productive, when I am not handling a call for service, assisting the officers or performing my required duties, I make sure I preform other related duties, by cleaning, restocking the dispatch, records and kitchen areas, in addition I accesses sites like POST, 911 magazine, NENA, etc. to keep

One of my strengths that I would like to see improvement is to become more open minded towards other cultures, opinion, and beliefs. The reality is that the process of being open minded takes time and sometimes is a difficult task to accomplish. However, I can say that I have tried to be opened minded when presented with certain situations. Presently, there is a gap from where I am to where I would like to be and that is to let it be and move on. "Students could have opportunities to explore their beliefs about various aspects of the educational system, teaching, learning, equity, and other topics of significance in the field of study"(Richardson p.266) No matter how much I try, at times my belief, culture, education, or natural plays a toll

Introverted: I am considered to be an introverted person. I mostly prefer to spend time alone than with others or in groups. However I love to work with other people. Working with other people can allows me to learn new things, but most of all I live to think. Thinking not only requires me to develop deeper thoughts by reflecting internally but it requires me to listen to others when they speak. This may allow me to come off quite in most cases but really it offers me more room to think critically.

Under all normal circumstances, a field full of children lying motionless in a field would be cause for alarm, however this particular scene occurred under the best circumstances. On a balmy October day in 2010, a group of girls reclined blissfully in Savasana beneath a whispering willow tree as the last cotton wood tufts drifted in the breeze. I’d been going to the Boys & Girls Club every day afterschool for about a month. One afternoon, a volunteer guided a group through a basic yoga class. Although it was probably only 30 minutes in length, it would serve as the catalyst for one of the most important chapters in my life. Little did I know it would eventually lead to my yoga teacher certification and beyond! Following my first post-yoga-bliss, I became hooked. The afterschool leader, Sarah, could place her full palm on the ground while I could barely touch my toes. She inspired me; she was an adult who truly inhabited her body.

According to the StrengthsFinder survey, my five greatest strengths are: communication, achiever, woo, competition and ideation (Clifton PH.D, Anderson, PH.D, & Schreiner PH.D, 2006). I have utilized the above mentioned strengths in various ways, such a talking with classmates, being ahead of schedule, and trying to come up with ways to get homework done.

My Top Five Strengths from the VIA- IS were: fairness, prudence, honesty, love, and perseverance.

As a professional educator it is important to not only understand one’s strengths, but also know how to use them. The strengths finder quiz, developed by The Gallup Organization, is the first step towards utilizing talents through building one’s own strengths. This thirty minute quiz gives an insight into the quiz takers top five strengths. By having these top strengths identified, the participant can get a better understanding of their personality strengths and work to apply these strengths within their professional field.

The biggest strength I have is to be creative with the situation that I am given. This in not only a skill that suggest that one can synthesize material to give it a sense of authenticity, but also can adapt and accommodate in the moment. Even the best planners can have a poor classroom dynamic; the rigidity of these classes is what prevents them from engaging students in the moment. I genuinely believe in effective planning and mythology but I also believe in breaking from the script and to accommodate the needs of learners in creative ways.
